Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
A.J. Foyt on qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race
I can tell you one thing, with 50 to go, I thought we were going to go home and close our tent.
Roger Penske, Indy 2006
I'm just so f***ing disappointed!
Kosuke Matsuura, St Pete's 2007
It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers. If somebody came to me and said, "Hey, you want to run Texas in an IRL car," I'd say, "Hell, no. I don't want to get embarrassed." She's doing that. I have a lot of respect for that.
Jeff Burton on Danica Patrick, June 2010
Last season, we lost the championship in the last corner of the last lap of the last race to some other guy.
Chip Ganassi, Daytona 2008
I can't believe it. I cannot believe it. What a year for this Target team. It was so much fun to be a part of.
Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016
Let's wait and watch.
Tom Carnegie
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.
Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005
Downforce is the enemy of racing.
Rick Mears, Motorsport.com, September 15th 2016
Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?
Paul Tracy, Indy Bump Day 2010
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.
Dan Wheldon, Homestead test 2007
Helio lives for this. This is his passion. He loves Indy.
Simon Pagenaud, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 15th 2018
Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004
Less than a mile an hour and I'm on pole. It's tough. It's IndyCar. It's why we love it.
Scott McLaughlan on qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 22nd 2023, via Speed Street
If you run around in the back with the squirrels, you're bound to get your nuts cracked.
PJ Chesson
You're not going to out-Dixon Dixon!
James Hinchcliffe on trying to beat Scott Dixon on fuel mileage, during the Bommarito Automative 500, August 27th 2023
I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!
Charlie Kimball to Dale Jr. via Twitter, Pocono, August 23rd 2015
I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.
Dario Franchitti on winning the 91st Indy 500
It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
The day started when I walked into Gasoline Alley and saw the grandstands. It was my first time here on race day and it was quite unbelievable.
Alex Tagliani on the 2009 Indianapolis 500
I drove it like I stole it!
Helio Castroneves, St Pete's 2006
You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
He's grounded.
Bryan Herta to Marco Andretti on Colton Herta knocking Marco out of P1 in final practice, Long Beach, April 14th 2019
It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!
Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011
When you tug at a guy in the pit lane, I think that is taking advantage of your gender, because it puts me in an awkward position.
Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007
Andy Granatelli for as much as he put into the sport, especially at Indianapolis. I had to deal with that big kiss. I can still smell the garlic.
Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500
That was for the team.
Tony Kanaan, Fontana 2005
Time to go to the back row party!
Ryan Hunter Reay, Indy 500 Bump Day 2009
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
Will Power on aerokits, Motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
You don't get too many times like that at the Indy 500 where you're out there and you have a chance to win the race right in front of everybody on the last lap.
Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.
Eddie Cheever Jr.
Any time I get to come to Indianapolis, any time I get to participate in the greatest spectacle in motor racing, it's a great day.
Paul Diatlovitch, Indy Bump Day 2007
Good news is we've won every race we've finished!
James Hinchcliffe on crashing out at Long Beach, April 22nd 2013
That's the kind of incident that leaves skidmarks *inside* the cockpit!
Tom Sneva
If I have to race until I am 86 years old, I am going to race until I win another Indianapolis 500.
Dan Wheldon after finishing 2nd in the 2010 Indianapolis 500
We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!
Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
Maybe he should start thinking about driving and stop thinking about dancing because that was a stupid move.
Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
P2 to P8 to P20 to who knows to P2. Confirmed… Portland IS weird.
Alexander Rossi on another wild race at Portland, via Twitter, September 13th 2021
It's just crazy. If I never won another pole, I wouldn't care. Almost.
James Hinchcliffe on winning the pole for the 100th Indy 500, May 22nd 2016
Wild thought. This 18th Indy 500 means I've been in IndyCar for exactly half of my life. 👀😅
Marco Andretti on getting older, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 18th 2023, via Twitter
I think Briscoe and I had a pretty good race going on, but we got what we got.
Scott Dixon on losing the race and the championship, Homestead 2009
I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.
Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter
Someone asked me if I win the Indy 500 if I'd still retire? I'd still retire. What better way to go out?
Danica Patrick on her final race, racing.ap.org, March 7th 2018
Do you think I give a flying f*** what Buddy Rice thinks?
Dan Wheldon
No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.
Scott McLaughlin on adding power steering, via Twitter, April 26th 2021
The Indy 500 is one of the greatest events in the sport. Drivers all over the world know this. I belong there. Because I'm a racer.
Fernando Alonso on The Indy 500, The Players Tribune, May 18th 2017
My picture isn't everywhere, but people recognize me. I'm telling you, it's the nose.
